I Was Left On The Street

<br>I Was Left On The Street - Bill Monroe<br><br><br>A policeman`s whistle gayly, a smile upon his face<br>As he walked along the old familiar beat<br>He saw a little bay crying and thought his heart would break<br>Standing bare foot in the middle of the street<br><br>I was left on the street with no shoes upon my feet<br>When I saw my mom and daddy drive away<br>Now I`m not old enough to know every much myself<br>But I saw my dad and mommy drive away<br><br>The policeman stopped the traffic, then went up to the boy<br>And he asked him gently, where do you belong<br>The little boy stopped criying and with trembling lips he said<br>I`m not big enough to know just what went wrong<br><br>* Refrain<br><br>The little boy is happy now with a new mom and dad<br>His new daddy is the policeman on the beat<br>Tho` he can`t forget that awful day it doesn`t seem to hurt so bad<br>He has a brand new pair of shoes upon his feet<br><br>* Refrain
